How to use

Take Sublingual Cialis exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take it in larger doses or for longer than recommended by your doctor. Taking this medication in larger doses will not make it more effective, and could cause dangerous side effects.

Sublingual Cialis can be taken with or without food.

Sublingual Cialis can be taken just before sexual activity or daily (at a lower dose), regardless of when sexual activity is planned. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Do not take Sublingual Cialis more than once a day. Allow 24 hours to pass between doses. If you take the medication daily, take it at the same time each day. Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if your erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours. A prolonged erection (priapism) can damage the penis.

The pill has to be placed under the tongue. It's absorbed directly in to the blood stream from the mouth's mucus membrane.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Sublingual Cialis is a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor and it works by helping the blood flow into the penis to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual stimulation.

When you place a medication under the tongue, it comes into contact with the mouth's mucous membranes, which are capable of absorbing material into the blood stream.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Sublingual Cialis , take it as soon as possible. If it almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

Storage

Store Sublingual Cialis at room temperature between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) away from moisture and heat.
